[Milsurplus] WWII Radios As Movie/TV Props

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Based on the data I have seen, EMP's will blow up tube radios just  
like solid state radios. The tube radios just last a little longer.

Simple way to look at it: With a long wire on the radio an EMP is just  
like a direct lightning hit on the antenna. The front end coils may  
(and probably do) fuse from the hit.
